Crabbe has thrown his hat into the political ring and has decided to make the race for city commissioner. Crabbe lost in the last election by but a few votes, notwithstanding that there was a consorted fight against him by several of the other departments of the city, and he believes that at this time he can overcome out. that previous handicap and win - Samuel Warren Oleson,' a deputy sheriff, will file his petitions with the city recorder today, and his name will be placed upon the ballot for city commissioner. If all vote for Oleson that have promised their support, Oleson is as good as elected. . Petitions are being circulated in behalf of Charles J. Bengtzen for city commissioner, and he has secured a bundle of petitions from the city recorder which he hopes to fill before the date of filing expires. Bengtzen says he is as good as elected and is the peoples candidate. . Commisioner T. T. Burton has filed his statement with the cit yrecorder in which he names himself as his own campaign manager.

According to the talk on the street the workers of Mayor Neslen, R. N. Young and T. T. Burton will endeavor to qualify this slate. This would leave out Herman Green, who is supposed to work with the other two commissioners, thereby combining all their departments into one political machine for their election.

If A. E. Harvey is elected city commissioner we ought to have an ordinance passed compelling him to shave and haircut all the city employes in a uniform way in order that the distinguished politicians may be readily recognized from the civilian population. If Joseph E. Galigher is elected mayor he will use a sledge hammer in place of a gavel and this means that order will be kept at all times. Joe is a good all round fellow, but business will be business with him, and when he raps for order with his sledge everybody had better get to work. J. E.
